The right questions
at the right time.
What are the light and soil conditions?
Which existing plants are worth retaining?
What ongoing care is available?
We work through these decisions using the existing property information, site conditions and your priorities. Any specialist review or approval responsibility is identified in the project proposal.
Start with the scope.
A useful price follows measured quantities and an agreed specification. For planting and softscape, the scope and installation interfaces matter as much as the visible finish.
Read our cost guidanceWhat shapes the proposal
- Site preparation, levels and drainage
- Paving area and hardscape detail
- Plant sizes, quantities and irrigation
- Features, lighting and establishment care
The programme separates design, external reviews, procurement and site work. It also records the decisions needed from you before orders or installation can proceed.
Plan the adjoining details.
Select for the place and the plant’s future size.
A planting palette should respond to sun, shade, soil conditions, irrigation and the space available as plants establish. Consider how the garden changes with growth rather than selecting only for its appearance on installation day. Review the care requirements and replacement approach with the supplier or landscape specialist. Avoid promises that any living palette is entirely maintenance-free.

From a decision to a clear appointment
Keep the agreed choices with the current drawings and specification. Identify who designs, supplies and installs each element, and how the work connects to neighbouring packages.
The proposal should also record any remaining investigations, product information and handover requirements. Resolve changes in writing so their effect on the scope and programme can be reviewed.
